Normanton Lad Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 11 hours ago, Mostyn6 said: generally all busy towns/cities that are diverse and multi-cultural are dumps. The Arboretum – the first public park in the UK - had been a source of pride and the locals often liked to stroll around admiring the various attractions of the place. Then in the 1960s it suddenly became full of men loitering on the mounds playing cards. It seemed that these people didn’t have any respect for the gardens. The decline of the Arboretum prefigured the decline of Derby as a whole. Many of the newcomers didn’t have any pride in the city. The crazily painted house on Dairyhouse Rd was another sign that things were getting strange. On top of this we had corrupt and stupid councillors destroying beautiful buildings. I don’t live in Derby anymore and you’d have to pay me a lot of money to live there now. But it’s not just Derby. Things are in decline everywhere in the UK. I was in a small town in Devon the other week and I could see signs of the same cultural changes that have destroyed Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Derby, like Birmingham, like all cities have their good parts and their bad parts, the nicer cities have a better proportion of the good parts. I went to Vancouver just before the winter olympics in 2009, at the time Vancouver was listed as the third best city in the world, to live in. I went fully expecting some kind of utopia, but was disappointed. One day, whilst walking in a tourist area with my wife and young children, we made a wrong turn and within 100 yards, we were in an area that I would describe as looking like the 'Bronx', with gangs of youths hanging about the streets and rubbish and decay everywhere. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably been costing millions in compo cases You insinuated that there had been no change to the planting in Derby in a sneering b******* manner which I know is normally the way you respond to posts on here. You didn't simply respond as it's not your way. I showed this was incorrect. Stive Pesley and cstand 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other half comes from pompey, and we go down there to visit once a year. have to say sitting at Gunwharf quay with a cuppa or a beer if I’m not driving is certainly one of my guilty pleasures. Then a walk down to the beach at southsea and just let the world go by without a care. Derby isn’t as bad as is being made out either. All I will say is if anyone thinks Derby is bad, then please don’t visit Dundee or Glasgow up here in Scotland. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 On a sunny day, take a stroll along the course of Markeaton Brook all the way up to the park - you'll pass a lot of history, see wildfowl in the brook and some wonderful trees in the park. Urban life at it's best. You can do similar walking from town through Darley Park all the way up to the Shiny Taproom at Little Eaton. Sh*thole? Only if you lack imagination.

You mean peek at the peak? Lovely. Anything Derby connected is fine seen through my tinted glasses. I really am wanting to visit, but won't give a date until I really am booked, unlike some Meeting up with uhm real Rams would suffice, I dare say And on top of that, no worries, I have been to Hull Gee SCREAMER !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented in a thread a while ago when people were saying PW couldn't attract players that moving to Derby city isn't the most attractive place for a young lad to move his life to. Its such a shame our city is in major decline, can/will anything be done about it? It has a great football club, great people it deserves some investment. https://metro.co.uk/2024/05/21/rundown-dump-named-worst-city-visit-uk-20878606/?ito=facebook|social|metroukfacebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2O4TgdgVBmSMSah4CP0jSzobd8kpnSFIlKA_C6qLe9Q90vFi2v-3QEkDk_aem_Adm1k_uJuZ9eaw3ylzy3ymWbq5afTZirhisMtwEU4dz5k8LhKvaAG1Y8lizBqARGBbaM4_GxkqT7wlX0MS60FjpT Good job we’re derby county then isnt it derbyshire is bloody stunning Crewton and YouRams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to said park, but I'm loving this image. Did the mounds offer a good vantage spot to see the cards of the opponent. Or were they all just playing Patience by themselves from on high? Were the cards just a cover for cottaging, or worse still a place to plan the decline of Britain by painting a nearby house a strange colour? jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
